The Problem Brands Face
Why Traditional Marketing Is Losing Impact:
Digital Ads
Expensive, saturated, easily ignored
  • The average person sees 5,000–10,000 ads/day (Forbes).
  • 65% of consumers skip ads as soon as they can (HubSpot).
  • Banner ad CTR is 0.1% on average — meaning 1 click per 1,000 views (Wordstream).
Influencers
Transactional with declining trust
  • Only 3% of consumers are influenced by celebrity endorsements (Nielsen).
  • 82% of consumers say they’re likely to follow a recommendation from a peer, but only 18% trust influencer posts (Edelman Trust Barometer).
  • Gen Z and Millennials increasingly see influencer content as inauthentic or paid (Morning Consult).
Sampling
Forgettable without proper context
  • Product sampling can cost $1–$5 per unit, but without the right setting, conversion rates are under 2% (Sampling Effectiveness Advisors).
  • 72% of sampled consumers forget the brand if they try it “randomly” (Shopper Insights study).
Sponsorships
Unclear ROI and hard to measure
  • 60% of marketers say proving ROI on brand sponsorships is one of their biggest challenges (ANA, 2023).
  • Event sponsorships often lack direct data — leading brands to cut back on unmeasured experiential spend (Forrester).
Brands need trust, trial, and community - not just impressions.
